Eastern Sierra Council Alliance Hosts 8th Annual Colorectal Cancer Walk

Last Saturday, March 29^th, the Eastern Sierra Council Alliance proudly held its 8th annual Colorectal Cancer Walk. A great group of people donated their time to make the event happen. They demonstrated their dedication to raising awareness and supporting those affected by colorectal cancer.

Coach Palu had some volunteer high school students there to make sure the runners were safe crossing the roads. I fondly nicknamed them the “Yellow Vest Gang” for their bright yellow vest attire. They were a great group of young men.

I have to be honest. I had an absolute blast serving as the emcee for the event—the overwhelming love and support from friends, family, and community members. The many warm hugs I received throughout the day were more than enough payment for my time and effort. Laughing Parrot is a proud sponsor of the Eastern Sierra Cancer Alliance.

More importantly, a special thanks goes out to Cheryl Underhill for organizing the raffle prizes, which added an extra layer of excitement to the event. Her dedication sometimes goes unnoticed, but NO!!! She is what made that whole part of the event successful, and of course, appreciation extends to her chauffeur, John Underhill.

Additionally, a special thank you to Gayla Wolf, who, like so many others, generously gave her time. All the photo credit goes to her. Thank you, Gayla, for your incredible work and dedication!

Grocery Outlet from the change round-up the program for March has raised nearly 3,000 dollars.

Events like this remind us of the strength and unity within our community. The Eastern Sierra Council Alliance continues to make a difference in the fight against colorectal cancer, and we are grateful for everyone who contributed to making this year’s walk a resounding success. Here’s to another great event next year!
